Phonics - Little Wandle.
Phonics - Little Wandle.
Phonics is the teaching and learning of letters and sounds and it will support your child when they are learning to read and write. At Damers we follow the Little Wandle Letters and Sounds revised programme which includes whole class daily sessions, group reading and interventions. It is incredibly important that you encourage your child to fill in their Phoneme Book each night to support their learning at school. We will include weekly videos to support children's phonics learning on the main class blog updates.
Here is the grapheme mat that is taught over the academic year. The mat is developed in the order the phonemes are taught.
Your child will use this grapheme mat to support them when writing.
